Official Wii Component Video Cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

...After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console. AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input. As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p. I finally got hold of the component video cable after...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

Wii component cable- Well worth the money

Advantages: sharper/brighter picture, opens up more ports on TV, saves hassle.
Disadvantages: quite expensive for a simple console improvement

...The Nintendo Wii component video cable really is a sound investment if you are the owner of an HD/ LCD TV, and obviously a nintendo Wii. Before i bought it, i had trouble with the picture quality and contrast on many of the games. Games such as Wii Sports were fine, but more of the action/adventure games such as Zelda or Splinter Cell give a very dark picture which can sometimes be hard to make out what was happening. The only way i could combat this problem was to adjust the contrast on my television which did help, but was alot of hassle. With the component cable, the picture is not only much brighter, but much sharper and defined. It gets rid of the hassle of having to turn the contrast back down after playing on the Wii and improves the overall gaming experiance. Another bonus is that on your HD TV, this cable plugs into...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

An expensive cable but well worth it.

Advantages: Great pictures and you can connect it to a number of devices.
Disadvantages: It is expensive and the cable is quite short.

...The Sony male VMC 15HD Video / Audio cable is very cheap for the thing it does which is transfer images. This cable is the future of HD TV I paid £25.00 for this cable. The UK Sony website sells it at £29.00 but there are plenty of other suppliers out there. This is a great piece of kit for transferring pictures from HD DVD players to HD TVs and still leaves the pictures with a very high picture quality you on the screen with its high rate data transfer "which means it loses very little detail." Sony states Gold-plated terminals for much improved signal transmission. This cable has gold plated connectors "The connectors are the gold bits at either end of the cable that go into the two devices e.g. TV to DVD. The cable is one and a half meters long this is more than enough cable to connect it up to my new blu ray HD...

Ipod nano v3 video

Advantages: Everything, good sound, good picture quality, good battery life
Disadvantages: Its quite pricey but worth the money

...Introduction At the begging of December I decided to treat myself to a new iPod. I had previously owned the iPod nano version 2 and I was impressed with it and decided that I would go for the third version of the iPod. When I got the iPod I had to check id been given the right thing as the box it came in was so small you would expect that it would have a necklace in it or something, but I had indeed got the what I had ordered. Packaging The iPod was packed in a hard plastic case which was taped up and quite hard to get into. The iPod was then on a plastic board which help the iPod in to a secure place so that it wouldn't get bashed about. The plastic board was resting on a small cardboard sleeve that contained the USB cable, earphones, instructions, warranty details and some stickers with the apple logo on. Setting it up...

Amazing Little Cable

Advantages: Synchronizes mobile phone to PC
Disadvantages: None

...the files from the phone can be viewed in the computer. Even messages and phonebook entries in my mobile phone can appear in my PC. I can then choose the pictures and videos that I want to transfer to my PC. Transferring wallpapers and ringtones is easy from my PC to my mobile phone. I select my favorite songs in mp3 format from the internet, save them in my PC then transfer them to my mobile phone. I also download videos from youtube using youtube-downloader, save them in my PC and transfer them to my phone. THE MOST AMAZING THING There was a time when my internet server was down for 2 days. In Nokia PC Suite, there's a 'connect to the internet' feature. It's hard to believe but I got connected to the internet using my Nokia CA-42 Mobile phone cable. I just click the 'Connect to internet' icon and my phone became my internet modem...

HD Quality on the Nintendo wii

Advantages: Excellent picture,resonable price,
Disadvantages: Only supports 480p,

...Now I have too say thank goodness they brought this out for HDTV users, im sure they would be pritty left in the dark with the standard picture quality, I have tried out the standard video cable you get with the nintendo wii and belive me its not nice running it through your HDTV. The quality you get from this HD cable is excellent it brings out the vibrate colours that you just dont see in your standard cable, games for instance like zelda you really notice the difference and the background looks amazing. The only downfall about this new hd cable is that it only supports 480p which is standard compared too the settings most tv's support, mine for instance supports 1080p so you can imagin how much quality im losing, but im still happy its better than the standard lead. The price for this is quite resonable for the quality change...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

make your Picture twice as better

Advantages: better Picture quailty
Disadvantages: unable to play the Wii Shop Games

...The Wii Component Cable is a Cable which Delivers a 480P Picture. (The Wii is not a HD Console but the cable just offers a Higher Picture Quailty) The Cable retails from £19.99 - £29.99 and There is still a sortage as loads of people are after the cable. if you have a HDTV i would advise you to get as the Picture Quailty Improves very well. When useing the Component Cable the Picture is a lot more enhanced. The Cable will support all wii Games and you can see quite a Difference when using this cable compared to the standard cable. But if you see a game with EDTV/HDTV you know you will use the full use of the component cable. After Plugging in the Cable i had to go into the menu and choose the 480P setting after the wii restarted i notice the wii Menu was a little more Clearer. I Notice a Large amount of difference when playing...

iPod Nano Video reveiw, Great new look

Advantages: Plays videos, music and views photos and high quality.
Disadvantages: Not easy to get video to a Ipod compatible format quickly.

...This is a ipod nano. It is great beacuse of the size. It fits easily in my pocket, about the size of a credit card. The main appeal of this ipod is the video feature. The screen is 5.5cm from corner to corner but it has a great picture and the soud is floorless. It can fit quite alot of video before it is full. I have a few full films on it but its still not full. Another new thing for this ipod is the cover flow feture. Great new way to look for a song on your ipod. However it is hard to get artwork for each song. Unless you have an itunes account and even if you do it doesnt always reconise a song. A let down for me is that you cant really add music or remove it without the Itunes program. But this is the same with all iPods ( you can still use other programs but they dont always work) Sleak new look and size makes this...

The GAMEware component cable spices up the Wii's HD graphics.

Advantages: Improves the graphical quality of games, Cheaper than the official cable.
Disadvantages: I suppose some people will unfairly compare the Wii and the 360/PS3 graphics and be disappointed?

...Having previously played my Wii on a regular old television I was more than happy with the graphics in game. However upon moving house and purchasing a Samsung LCD TV which is HD compatible, I figured buying a component cable couldn?t hurt and I had heard good things about its effect upon games. I did not have the money at the time to purchase the official Nintendo one, and when talking about it with the kind and helpful assistants in GAME, they assured me theirs was just as good and a fraction of the price. I had never been let down by them before so I bought it and went home straight away to see the effect it would have, especially on games with already spectacular graphics like Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy. Difference in Picture Quality Being unsure of the effect it would have, I performed a blind test with a friend...

Review of Wii Component Cable

Be careful next time you need to call .. 'THE CABLE GUY' ..

Advantages: Well.... Jim Carrey stars in it!
Disadvantages: it possibly could have done with just a touch more humor.

...--------------------------------------- THE CABLE GUY on DVD --------------------------------------- This film was first released in 1996 and it was officially a box office FLOP . I was actually quite surprised to learn that on watching the DVD. Jim Carrey was already quite a well recognized face in the movie industry by the time that 'The Cable Guy' was released . His previous roles had included the lead part in the 2 ACE VENTURER movies( I love both of those films) and also the Riddler in BATMAN FOREVER(my son likes this one) . I first saw this movie a few years after its release, on pay per view . I loved this film so much that my sister on knowing this decided to buy it for me as a present a few birthday's ago.It was a GREAT choice as it is still a favorite of mine all these years on. ---------- Plot ---------- Jim Carrey...
